Call to other Tamil Liberation Groups

25 September 1987

The Tamil nation is facing an extremely crucial period of tyranny and
persecution. Our struggle for national liberation at this critical juncture is
experiencing a traumatic turn. In this present situation the public image of our
peoples struggle for Eelam is being tarnished by the differences and internecine
bashing between the groups.

Hence it behoves every member of every liberation movement to renounce these
divisive elements, to sink the alienating differences , to condemn and give up
these acts of wreaking vengence and to come forward and unite with the L.T.T.E.
We the members of L.T.T.E.eagerly extend an open welcome.

I have both then and now openly exposed the perpetrators who caused the
contentious divisions and brutal attacks between groups. The Tamil people of
Eelam know only too well the destructive machinations of the Indian Government's
intelligence wing.

From the time the Indian intelligence services realised that the L.T.T.E. had
blossomed and consolidated its members into a highly motivated and well
disciplined national fighting force, the Indian intelligance feared the
L.T.T.E.'s potentiality. Hell bent on destroying this, the Indian intelligence
services aided in the formation of several trigger happy units and created
friction which resulted in several inter-group killings.

The sole motive behind these actions was to weaken the power and strength of the
L.T.T.E But they could not overpower, let alone, even lessen our strength and
power -for - OUR POWER comes from the Tamil people and is nurtured by the total
commitment of the rank and file of the Tamil people. In spite of this, there
were several bitter skirmishesbetween members of the various movements, resulting in the internecine
destruction of kith and kin.

Yet the entire blamefor the present plight of the Tamil Nation and the incalculableloss of human life and property cannot be laid, only at the door of the Indian
intelligence service. Each and every leader of theseveral factions, who both singly and collectively be-came victim of the
selfish, scheming manipulations of the Indian intelligence service, is as
guilty. These power-drunk leaders became prawns in the hands of India and they
then functioned and still function as quislings.

My beloved brothers, we beseech you with outstretched hands. Dear comrades,
reject these treacherous leaders who have deserted the Tamil Eelam cause, these
so-called leaders, who when our struggling nation faces crisis looming, at this
most crucial iuncture, have alienated themselves from the Tamil people and who
have sold themselves as slaves to a foreign government.

Beloved comrades in arms, we welcome you whole heartedly. Join and swell the
ranks of the L.T.T.E, who are fighting to achieve the aspirations of the Tamil
people for FREEDOM. Our militant force proudly marches on with the intention of
achieving this aim-LIBERATION of Tamils--It is for attaining this same goal, you
joined these movements in the first place.We come forward to embrace every single freedom fighter aspiring for Tamil Eelam
and accept you as our friends and comrades into our fold.
